Invitation

For the first time, the Prevention & Intervention meeting will unite the cardiology community from across Central Europe into one platform, creating an annual hub of science, education, and collaboration tailored to the needs of our region.

Why this meeting is unique

Regional impact: Central Europe is home to more than 150 million people and over 600 active interventional cardiology centers. Despite high-quality practice, our region has not yet had a common scientific platform.
Strong scientific profile: The meeting combines scientific sessions, case-based learning, hands-on workshops, original research (abstract sessions), and expert debate.
Comprehensive scope: Coronary interventions, imaging and physiology, structural heart interventions, preventive cardiology, support of women and young interventionalists, and system-level challenges.
High-level faculty: Leading experts from Central Europe and invited global leaders.
Visibility: An annual event positioned as the reference point for interventional cardiology in our region, with international outreach.

Please note that this year’s meeting will take place at a new venue:

Focus Hotel Premium Warsaw
15 Suwak Street, 02-676 Warsaw, Poland

We look forward to welcoming you — please check back often for updates and follow our official channels to stay connected.
